(Acts 18:18-28)
1. Instead of a sandbox for our grandson, we bought a wrapping paper storage container. The idea is that it is portable and we can clamp on the lid to keep out cats or rain. Only one problem: one latch was missing.
2. We, too, can have missing parts. But

Introduction
In the Caribbean islands, as in most tropical lands, people move more slowly. They don’t get in a hurry as we who live in the temperate climate sometimes do. A missionary in Jamaica was noted for her high level of energy. A man in the church spoke of it to

This is a funeral sermon for Bessie McCloud (died 1991), a Christian who was bed-ridden for several years before her death.

Today, we seek to draw some eternal meaning from the life that Bessie McCloud has lived, in hopes that it will help us find God’s will for our own human life. Bessie’s life spanned almost the entire 20th century, but for the Christian who has died, we can see a faith history that stretches back

Intro: in the story of the 3 little pigs we find that there were three types of building materials used to build their houses: straw, wood and brick. The only house that could withstand the wolf from blowing the house down was the brick house. Every day we build our lives, and Jesus gives us a

A short, challenging, all-age talk given at a harvest festival service.

I love the ‘Mr. Men’ books by Roger Hargreaves! I also enjoy reading the ‘Little Miss’ books too, but my favourite has to be Mr Greedy. A few years ago it was the children’s book that I read more than any other and as a result it’s required a lot of sticky tape to hold it together. I particularly

We are in our series on Core Values. Core Values are the DNA that define who we are, what we are in infancy and in greatness. What God has called us to be. They are not just creeds on plaque or notes in book somewhere. They are the essence of who we a

The problem in our society is that we have become a people who focus upon the Theology of Glory—a casual in vogue religion that demands nothing and promises everything—instead of a society that lives the Theology of the Cross.

Sermon for Matthew 10:24-39
June 22nd 2008
This past week I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with seven of our confirmation kids at Lutheran Hills. The morning hours they were stuck with me, where I was to teach them something important about our faith. But what? Where do I begin?
